In 1972 I lost from my all-time high weight to my weight today. During the intervening years I've mostly kept away from that top weight, but kept re-gaining, re-losing the bottom 20 lbs.

Today I looked back over my Fitbit weight logs which date back to 05/13/14 and found the same pattern. This is why the forum here is so important for me personally. Being accountable where others can see my failures and note my successes helps keep me from the edge, from returning to the place my body feels I belong.

Gaining weight is easy. Losing weight, even ounces, at 75 is harder. Maintenance is the hardest job I've ever had.
